"If the BLM wants the road closed, then the reasons for that should be researched and addressed. If it's budgetary, and with the State budget what it is today that's my best guess, then you're up the proverbial creek."

Regarding the budget, does anyone know how much it would cost the state to have this road open? I thought that the 4WD groups did all the maintenance and repairs on a volunteer basis. What other factors are involved?
